Activities at Fairview House Care Home
Our Activities Coordinators create a weekly planner that consists of a variety of activities, which caters to all residents' needs as best as possible. The most popular activities are bingo, which we host twice a week, flower arranging and weekly visits from Vinnie our pet therapy dog. Residents also enjoy minibus trips in the nicer weather and we attend a concert every month. We are also involved in the Council Well-being Team, which keeps us up-to date with upcoming events within the community and provides interesting ideas for activities we can try in the home.
Throughout the year, we host various special events, including themed open days and summer and winter fetes that people in our local communities are welcome to join us for. We also have monthly church services with Rev. Ann from Danestone Congregational Church, which is open to loved ones as well.
Fairview House Activities Team
Chloe, Cecilia and Veronica make up our fantastic Activities Team here at Fairview House.
They develop and oversee an active living programme for each resident, which encourages mobility, social contact, independence and fun. Each and every person can thrive and live to their full potential with no day ever being the same. They bring great enthusiasm and spark to the home and have one passion, which is to deliver an amazing and vibrant activities programme to cater to all tastes and abilities.

Our Brave Volunteers
Thank you to the volunteers from the Church of Latter Day Saints, which is next door to Fairview. They braved the wet weather on Saturday 10th March to paint fences and tidy up our back garden. They also helped tidy up the patio garden area in Memory Lane.
Golden Games 2016
Residents and activities staff again competed in the Golden Games this year. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day, made even better by the fact that we won a trophy for Shoot & Score.
Scottish Dementia Awareness Week
Being diagnosed with dementia has not prevented Bill from doing what he loves. As part of Scottish Dementia Awareness Week, the BBC filmed and interviewed Bill Duncan at Fairview House on 2nd June 2016.
